Mumbai:
Sheila Ki Jawani is passe, Katrina Kaif is reinventing herself for an item number for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.
Katrina said, "Yes, I am shooting a full-on tapori number. It's earthy and sensuous not suggestive. I'm supposed to be dancing at a roadside dhaba."
So what happens to Sheila? Katrina shrugs, "That's become the new benchmark for all my dance numbers. I was told to better than Sheila Ki Jawani. And I'm trying my best."
The actress is quietly shooting for the item number at Yash Raj Studios. Onlookers say she's sporting a hot new look.
Sohail Sen has composed the music. The brief that producer Aditya Chopra gave him was simple: Keep it original. "Go beyond Sheila".
A source said, "It isn't so much about one-upmanship over Katrina's last calling card as much as it is to living up to (if not exceeding) the expectations audiences would have from an item number featuring the actress."
